July 30 - Anchorage

Well, we stayed yet another day so Ger could do some more work on his client’s problems but he took a break this afternoon and we went down to Potter’s Marsh, south of town, to check out the boardwalk into the marsh. We saw a pair of bald eagles, an eared grebe, yellowlegs (a long-legged wader), teal and Canada geese. The pink salmon had come into the marsh and were lurking beneath the boardwalk, probably gathering their energy before the last mad dash up the creeks that feed the marsh. Tomorrow we’re leaving for sure.
